About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Liz" Gray is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) in Kansas with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, eating and body-image concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and family-related problems. Liz also helps people facing career stress, compassion fatigue, and adjustments after major life changes.
Liz uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people make small shifts that matter. She begins by asking about the goals that matter most to the client and moves at a pace the client finds comfortable. Sessions focus on clear skills, communication strategies, and ways to manage difficult feelings day to day.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Kansas State University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Kansas. Over a decade she has worked with concerns such as eating and food-related issues, domestic violence, attachment and family of origin matters, and separation or divorce stress.
In sessions she draws on therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches, and client-centered work. These methods are used to address patterns such as codependency, control issues, dissociation, commitment problems, and communication breakdowns.
Outside of work she shares life with a cat and a French bulldog and enjoys hiking. The first session is framed as a chance to see if the fit feels right and to set clear goals together.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions. It helps with worry, low mood, and coping with life changes by teaching how to live alongside difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and provides practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and body-image or eating-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they affect current relationships and sense of self; it can be useful for attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and family of origin problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with the client to choose methods that match goals, needs, and personal preferences. Sessions can mix techniques so practical skills and deeper relational work support one another over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people connect from wherever they are located within the permitted regions. Licensed professionals will help plan how sessions fit into daily life and adjust the approach as goals evolve.
